Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 A NEW YEAR'S RECIPE Take twelve fine, full-grown months, and see that they are free from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate or jealousy; cleanse them completely from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short, see that these months are freed as much as possible from the past. Cut each month into 30 or 31 equal parts; divide one in 29 equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year, but do not attempt to create the whole batch at one time. So many spoil the entire lot in this way. Prepare one day at a time, as follows. Into each day mix: Twelve parts of faithEleven parts of patienceTen of courageNine of work Eight parts of hopeSeven parts of fidelitySix of liberalnessFive parts of kindness Four of restThree parts of prayerTwo of meditationAnd finally, mix in one part of resolution. If you have no scruples against it, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor. Pour into the whole mixture a lot of love and mix with vim and vigor. Cook thoroughly in a fervent passion; garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy. Serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness. Then a Happy New Year will be certain.
